Lost Tina Turner song resurfaces for fans

A forgotten track from Tina Turner’s iconic Private Dancer album, Hot For You, Baby, has been rediscovered and debuted on BBC Radio 2. Initially cut from the album in favour of hits like What’s Love Got To Do With It, the song showcases Turner’s powerful, raspy vocals in an up-tempo rocker style.

Rediscovered while compiling the album’s 40th-anniversary edition, the track joins a deluxe re-release featuring remixes, B-sides, and live performances. It offers fans a nostalgic glimpse of Turner’s transformative 1984 album, which reignited her career and cemented her status as a global superstar.

Turner, who passed away in 2023 at 83, left an indelible legacy, including Tina – The Tina Turner Musical. The West End and Broadway hit celebrates her extraordinary life and features timeless classics like Proud Mary and The Best, continuing her story for new generations.

The West End production currently stars Karis Anderson (Motown) and Zoe Birkett (The Bodyguard) sharing the role of Tina Turner, and Rolan Bell (Memphis) as Ike Turner. The London production recently welcomed its 2 millionth visitor to the show, and is currently booking to 25 October 2025 at the Aldwych Theatre in London.

Also this week, the new UK & Ireland tour of Tina – The Tina Turner Musical announced casting, including Elle Ma-Kinga N’Zuzi (Moulin Rouge!) and Jochebel Ohene MacCarthy (Ghost the Musical), who will share the role of Tina Turner.
